If you want to know what’s going on in NFL, follow the money … line.
As of Friday morning, BetDSI has Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers installed at -350 to miss Sunday’s game against the Minnesota Vikings.
That means the site has the odds set at 3.5:1 that the All-Pro QB will not be suiting up because of the leg that bothered him during Sunday night’s win over the Bears.
Given that the game is bound to be close, oddsmakers think the Packers will play it safe with their star signal-caller and keep him on the sidelines.
“If Rodgers plays this week we’re looking at Green Bay as a 1- or 2-point home favorite. If he doesn’t, you’re going to see spreads anywhere from Vikings -7 to -9,” BetDSI head risk manager Brent Corobotiuc said in a statement to NESN. “There is a vast dropoff between Deshone Kizer and Aaron Rodgers, but it’s even greater this week due to the opponent being one of the best teams in football.”
Publicly at least, the team is still keeping the possibility of Rodgers playing open.
McCarthy on Rodgers; Aaron's getting better. I would say he feels better than he did at the beginning of the week. Tomorrow's practice will be a big indicator. Nothing's changed, he's still day to day. #MINvsGB
